Got it recommended by a normie, so I am suspicious. Especially since it is Nickelodeon, but it is also from 2005-2008, so maybe it is not woke. Still can be shit though, which is why I am asking.

ATLA had some proto-woke stuff, mostly delivered through Katara, but the show is well written enough that it doesn't bother me.
At least with Katara, it was believable and in character, rather than forced. Since if we are being honest, a lot of the hate for Woke stuff starts with it being forced.
Plus she was balanced out by Toph existing, so there is that too.
I'm willing to forgive most of the show's gurl power bullcrap when they make it a point to actually have equality instead of just harping on the guys. Awesome heroes and villains of both sexes who all get time to shine. And instead of making Sokka constantly wrong compared to Katara, they balance each other out and have pros and cons depending on the situation.
If the show was made today Sokka would get the Marvel treatment. He is the comic relief, sure but he has his amazing moments, he's also the smart guy with a plan for things. Today he would be a laughing stock and be made fun off, overshadowed by stronk wymynx.
